Everything you need to secure your community in one place: in-browser Edge AI for guards, the honest total savings per month and year, and zero hardware lock-in.
Open the app and the gate status is immediately live. How many visitors are on campus, deliveries logged in the Package Vault, and upcoming guest arrivals — no manual registers in sight. Every check-in request syncs directly to the resident's phone and WhatsApp in real time.
Legacy gate management vendors charge over ₹1,50,000 per lane in proprietary ANPR cameras, handset cabling, and recurring AMC contracts. Athithi delivers pure software edge AI on your existing smartphones and webcams, turning unnecessary CAPEX into ₹0.
The moment a guest or delivery arrives at the gate, an instant push notification lands on the resident's phone and WhatsApp. Approve or deny with a single tap, with full photo and vehicle verification.
Everything runs in standard modern web browsers. No specialized cabling, no technician visits, and no civil modifications to your gates.
Typing visitor registers by hand causes morning gate queues. Snapping an ID card takes one tap. Our in-browser WebAssembly engine extracts names and numbers in 800ms, redacting Aadhaar numbers (XXXX-XXXX-1234) before saving to comply strictly with India's DPDP Act 2023.
Designed specifically for Municipal Corporations and Collectorates facing heavy citizen footfall, vernacular literacy hurdles, and strict national audit mandates.
Replaces expensive guard tablets, physical intercom wires, and fragmented accounting software with a single unified PWA and WhatsApp bot.
High-throughput tablet reception self-check-in, digital NDA e-signing on screen, and instant host dispatch via Slack, Microsoft Teams, and WhatsApp.

You know roughly what gated security costs your society every month. Roughly is the problem. Proprietary tablets, intercom wiring repairs, and hidden vendor lock-in. Athithi turns that quiet leak into one honest number you can act on.
UPDATE and DELETE queries physically rejected by engine triggers. Court-admissible under BSA 2023.
Enough to evaluate in-browser edge AI.
For Gated Societies & RWAs up to 100 units.
Athithi is completely web-standard and software-driven. Guards and receptionists use standard Android or iOS smartphones, existing tablets, or desktop PCs with standard USB webcams. Edge AI OCR and ANPR execute directly in the browser using WebAssembly without requiring specialized optical sensors, turnstiles, or proprietary intercom hardware.
Yes, 100%. Athithi performs automatic client-side Aadhaar number redaction (masking the first 8 digits to XXXX-XXXX-1234) before data ever leaves the device. Furthermore, Athithi features automated 90-day PII purging to comply with data minimization requirements and maintains 180-day WORM immutable logs for CERT-In cybersecurity guidelines.
Athithi resolves this through our Dual-Lock Break-Glass Architecture compliant with DPDP Act 2023 Section 17. In the event of a police investigation (FIR), theft, hit-and-run, or life-safety emergency, authorized Society Admins and Superadmins can unlock original unmasked identity documents and license plates. To prevent misuse, unlocking strictly requires re-entering the admin password, stating the incident reference/FIR number, applying dynamic anti-leak forensic watermarks, and permanently writing an immutable audit record into our MySQL WORM database triggers.
Athithi is built as an offline-first Progressive Web App (PWA). Guards can continue scanning passes, logging vehicle numbers, and issuing offline tokens even during internet blackouts. As soon as connectivity is restored, all cached entry records sync automatically with cryptographic timestamp verification.
No. Residents can use the fast, lightweight PWA directly in any browser (which can be pinned to their home screen in 1 click). Additionally, Athithi supports direct WhatsApp Cloud interactive notifications, allowing residents to approve or deny visitors with a single tap inside WhatsApp without opening any app.
When a delivery agent leaves a parcel at the guardhouse, the guard logs the courier company and unit number. Athithi immediately generates an encrypted 4-digit pickup OTP sent exclusively to the resident's app or WhatsApp. When the resident or their domestic staff collects the parcel, the guard must input this OTP to release the package.
Yes. Athithi's Smart Gov edition is pre-configured for municipal corporations, collectorates, and civic administration. It supports on-premises self-hosting inside state data centers for complete sovereign control and 180-day WORM immutable audit logs.
Yes. Athithi's financial billing module features a 1-click XML export compatible with Tally Prime and Tally.ERP 9. All maintenance receipts, late interest penalties (18% p.a.), and UPI transaction IDs are mapped directly into standard double-entry journal vouchers.
A residential society or commercial workplace can go live in under 15 minutes. Simply import flat/unit and resident records via Excel/CSV, print the gate QR signage, and guards can log in immediately on any smartphone. No wiring, technician visits, or civil modifications are needed.
